The lawyer emailed his client overseas:
"Your mother-in-law passed away in her sleep. Do you
want us to order burial or cremation ?"
Back came the reply, "Take no chances - order both,
but not in that order."

He told her one had a horn and the other one didn't.
She replied, "The one without the horn is fine. I don't
expect we'll run into too much traffic out here."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by
Ronny Scott Hicks,
54,
Palm bay
Florida
Florida Man arrested and wheeled to jail
for wheelchair DUI
Ronny Scott Hicks has two prior DUI convictions, but his
arrest on Monday night was slightly more memorable.
The 54-year-old Florida man was arrested Monday night after
police in Palm Bay got reports of a man in a motorized
wheelchair blocking traffic, according to ClickOrlando.com.
Hicks has two previous DUI convictions, neither while driving
a wheelchair, according to officials.
When officers arrived on the scene, they allegedly saw Hicks
sitting in his wheelchair blocking traffic. Officers said he
smelled of alcohol and was slurring his words, according to
WBRZ.com.
Hicks allegedly refused to take a breathalyzer test, according
to WTSP.com. He was taken into custody, refused treatment
for an open wound, and remains behind bars at the Brevard County
Jail on $5,000 bond.

Re: Partitions
Dear Webby
I have a HP laptop with w7 and it has 4 "partitions" or
rather that is what it looks like.
This is what it looks like:
8 GB ram
Hard disk drives 4:
C: 275GB
D: 298GB
F (recovery) 21.9Gb
G: (HP tools) 99.3MB
It seems these are not partitions so I cannot combine
Disk 1 (C drive) and disk 2 (D drive)
This seems so ridiculous. Do you know of any way that I
can combine these 2 "disks"?
This laptop was just restored to original state (with 2
original disks).
Dear CyberGrannie
That looks OK.
Why combine them?
By the way, D: might be a removable "drive" like DVD.
Just use them as they are.
You would not gain anything by combining them anyway.
For example, I have always used my E: drive for tools
and programs, and my F: drive for data, that I have produced.
Having extra drives or partitions allows you to have short
destination, like for example E:\Alpha\Eudora
instead of having my email program buried deep down in the
wacky chaos on C:
Have FUN!

Arthur came home after a late-night poker game and was
greeted by Sandra, his nagging, sourpussed wife.
"And just where have you been all night?," sandra
screeched at him.
"Playing cards," says Arthur, "but that's not
important. What matters is that I lost you to Bubba
Smith."
"Lost me!!" Sandra screamed, "How did you manage that?"
"It was a heartbreaker," Michael admitted.
"I had to fold with a royal flush."

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Dieter's Chocolate Mousse
This is very simple. No cooking and you can make it the
strength or quantity you desire. Just take natural Greek
style yoghurt, or any other non flavored yoghurt. Add
cooking style cocoa powder. This has no added sugars at
all. You can also add vanilla.
Simply mix it up in whatever strength you want. You do
have to mix thoroughly because the cocoa powder seems
to sit on the surface. You can make it a strong or weak
chocolaty taste, getting your "chocolate fix" without
the guilt. If it is a bit strong, you can always add
a few drops of pure vanilla essence. That's it, simple!
Approximate Time: INSTANTLY
Yield: WHATEVER YOU MIX UP.

Norrissa was nervous the night her new boyfriend invited
her and her three young sons to an upscale restaurant
for the first time.
He ordered a bottle of wine with the meal. When the
server brought it, the children became quiet as she
began the ritual uncorking. When the waitress poured a
small amount for Norissa to taste and handed her the glass,
her six-year-old piped up,
"Mom usually drinks a LOT more than that!"

Noella's brother has just returned from a visit to Israel
and reported to her this about elevators in Israel:
Apparently Shabat is the Sabbath and in some cities, it is
observed faithfully. On that day, the elevators are set to
stop at every floor so no one has to "work" and press a
button.
Usually there is one elevator that is still and does not run
except for opening and closing doors. The doors stay closed
for 7 minutes and then open - while the elevator doesn't move.
One never knows which elevator is the Shabat elevator. So
people will get on it accidentally, the doors close and 7
minutes go by. The door opens, everyone gets off and the
elevator fills up with new people. Meanwhile the people
who just got off are trying to tell the new ones - don't
get on, it won't go anywhere. But of course no one listens,
so the process starts all over and continues all day long!

Tech Support Pits: Re: Not getting a subscription
... not getting my subscription newsletters, not just the Humor Letter, but
others too. I can't re-sub- scribe because I am still on the list....

Dear Friends, If you are on the list, then the subscriptions are sent out
TOWARDS you. If you don't see them, then either you or your ISP are blocking
them.

Complaining to me won't fix your or your ISP's spam block. Check your spam
control program and, if necessary, white-list the missing subscription or
declare it as friendly. If your spam control program is OK, contact your
ISP.

If you are using one of those address collectors that pretend to be email
verification programs, but ask for people to fill out all kinds of information,
forget it!
NO newsletter send program will even click on a verification link, never
mind filling out some silly junkmail order form. If you want a newsletter,
it is up to YOU, to make sure that you are not blocking it.

The Humor Letter is no exception, except that you can still read it here,
on-line, at http://webby.com/humor,
even if you are blocking it in the mail.
